Question
For the following question two statements are given – one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R).Assertion: White silver chloride turns grey in the presence of sunlight.Reason: In the presence of the sunlight, silver chloride decomposes into silver metal and chlorine gas.Select the correct answer to the question.
Solution
The correct answer is: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Explanation: The Assertion states that white silver chloride turns grey in the presence of sunlight. This is true because silver chloride is photosensitive and decomposes in the presence of light.
The Reason states that in the presence of sunlight, silver chloride decomposes into silver metal and chlorine gas. This is also true and is the correct explanation for why silver chloride turns grey in the presence of sunlight. The silver metal that is produced in this reaction is grey, which is why the white silver chloride turns grey.
